Abstract
A 28-year-old woman presented in her first pregnancy was admitted with severe hyperemesis gravidarium. Increased nuchal translucency with cardiac anomaly and omphalocele at the first trimester was observed at the ultrasound examination. Chorionic villus biopsy confirmed triploidy. The combination of type I and type II triploidy patterns were seen together in the second trimester of the pregnancy. Although the symptoms due to increased human chorionic levels occured, at the pathologic investigation there were no molar changes in the placenta. Here we report a case of uncommon presentation of triploidy.
